Celebrity Reflection

All staterooms feature modular closets and under bed storage, expanded safes, rollout trundles, and digital, in-room entertainment. While cabins are roomy—with interior, ocean view, veranda, concierge class, and retreat staterooms at 183-200 square feet—they could use a more modern feel, one that is more in line with the airy Grand Foyer and dazzling shared spaces. The retreat, a two-bedroom signature suite (441 square feet) is available only on the Celebrity Reflection and includes butler service. Cruising by yourself usually comes with a solo supplement, as the Reflection does not offer solo cabins.

AquaClass staterooms include access to the exclusive Blu restaurant and Persian Garden relaxation area. Retreat class cabins give access to an exclusive restaurant, Luminae, and Michael’s, a concierge lounge.

The Reflection contains four wheelchair accessible sky, aqua class, and concierge class suites; eight wheelchair accessible veranda cabins; four wheelchair accessible ocean view cabins; and six wheelchair accessible interior cabins. Also provided are braille in public areas, and upon request are boarding assistance, ASL interpreters, visual-tactile alert kits, accommodations for guests who require dialysis and oxygen, accessible shore excursions, and features geared toward passengers with autism (like camp at sea accommodations for autistic children).

For its size, the Reflection offers a large variety of dining options, with thirteen total venues, six of which are specialty restaurants (and charge a fee). Inclusive options include glamorous Opus Restaurant (where you can choose to dine at a set time or anytime), casual Oceanview Café, and the poolside dining venue, Mast Grill and Bar. Specialty restaurants except Sushi on Five, which is a la carte, come with a set fee. Room service (with the exception of a complimentary continental breakfast) is included with a fee. Standout specialty restaurants include Le Petit Chef, an immersive culinary performance featuring a holographic tiny chef on diners’ plates; Tuscan Grille, which offers a stunning view of the ship’s wake; and Murano, which serves French fare. Specialty restaurants The Lawn Club Grill and Porch conjure East-coast beach vibes. Luminae is reserved for suite guests and Blu is exclusively for AquaClass passengers.

Eleven bars and lounges give passengers myriad ways to utilize their drink package. Celebrity Reflection offers three drink packages: zero proof (unlimited specialty coffees and teas, soft drinks and mocktails); classic (adding like Red Bull, premium waters, beer, wine by the glass, spirits, cocktails and liqueurs priced at $10 or less); and premium (which raises price limit per drink to $17). Martini Bar and Crush wow with a bar top made of ice and World Class Bar bartenders put on a show that rivals Tom Cruise’s in the movie Cocktail. Vacation days that begin at Café Al Bacio for specialty coffee and segue to Sunset Bar and Sky Observation Lounge are the epitome of elevated cruising.

Production shows in the Reflection Theater range from musical reviews with acrobats and dancers to comedians who offer family friendly and “over 18” sets. Other venues, often featuring live musicians, include the Sky Observation Lounge, Quasar, and the ship’s Grand Foyer. From karaoke to comedy to musical reviews to a silent disco, the entertainment is high-quality but despite early, late, and matinee performances, passengers accustomed to multiple entertainment venues on large ships may wish for more options on a given night.

The Reflection boasts a complimentary fitness center and fitness classes for a fee. The spa is lovely, if crowded at times. Services are innovative and luxurious, especially the bamboo massage, thousand flower detox wrap, IV-therapy offerings, and Kérastase Salon. The Persian Garden, available complimentary to AquaClass guests and with a fee for other passengers, features an aromatic steam room infused with pure plant essences.
